Happy Christmas Eve! I know for some people this can be a bustling day and night of holiday cheer. I personally like a quieter Christmas Eve. A short day and long night of reflection, coziness, and anticipation of what’s to come.

Are you more like a brownie or a cookie? Take my latest quiz to find out!

Mmmm, can you smell it in the air? I’m not talking about late fall crispness, wood burning fireplaces or even holiday spirit. I’m talking about the smell of holiday baking. It’s that time of year everyone, and I can just smell the cookies, rolls, cakes, and other delights baking in the air. And since I haven’t started baking yet, these smells are mostly wishful thinking on my part.

As I’ve made clear, I love holiday treats, and cookies are foremost on this list. I like traditional holiday cookies like cutout cookies, but I also like more normal cookies as well as ones from foreign countries. However, I often wonder why holiday baking tends to begin and end at cookies – with the occasional fruitcake thrown in. Shouldn’t there be more holiday delights? Like brownies for instant.

Now that I’ve tipped my hat, let’s be clear: I love brownies! I don’t think they are given their due in baking culture, and this especially is true during the holidays. Peppermint brownies anyone? Maybe some gingerbread brownies too? Why not? If people can put ginger and chocolate together in fancy dark chocolates, then I think this could be a winning holiday combo.

That’s not to say I like brownies better than cookies. Or maybe I’ll do. I’ll leave that up for you to decide. However, I do think cookies and brownies should be held up equally highly, so I decided to write a quiz about them both!

Let’s get down to it: Are You a Brownie or a Cookie? Yes, you may love them both like I do, but you can only be one. Let me know what you get on this tasty quiz and also if you think holiday brownies should be a thing 🙂

What kind of candy best represents your personality? Take this quiz to find out!

Do you like candy? I mean, we all do, right? I will admit to not liking every candy in the world, but if it has some chocolate (or enough sugar) in it, then I’ll probably like it! Of course, my favorite thing about candy is that it’s sweet. Beyond that though, I have to say that I really like how you can just have a piece or two of candy as a treat. Unlike something like a big slice of chocolate cake, you can have a little piece of candy every day. Or two. Or three. In my opinion 🙂

It may be odd to talking about candy in December instead of October, but I consider candy’s season to run from Halloween to Valentine’s Day. I mean, if you think about it, Halloween is just the beginning for candy lovers like us. There’s always the hope that there will be candy corn at Thanksgiving (not a favorite, but I’ll take what I can get). And of course, I consider candy in Christmas stockings a must. Believe it or not, candy is part of my New Year’s Eve tradition. Yup, I eat those chocolates with a bit of booze in them. And of course, Valentine’s Day should always be about candy, whether you’re single or not. So given all of this, aren’t we smack in the middle of candy season.

The candy quiz that I’m sharing today has been on Blogthings for quite a while, but it was definitely due for a revamp. The outcomes have been expanded a ton, and I think you’ll get a chuckle out of your outcome. Take What Kind of Candy Are You? and let me know what you get. What’s your favorite kind of candy?

I love all the positive emotions surrounding the holidays. Compassion, gratitude, togetherness, awe… all good stuff. While this is a great time of year to go deeper, I don’t always feel in the mood to go deeper. A lot of the positive deep feelings that go with the holidays can be bittersweet. Sometimes I just want to keep it light!

What about you? Are you looking for a few laughs at this point in the holiday season? If so, I’ve got the quizzes for you!

What Christmas cupcake are you?

What does your ugly sweater reveal about you?

What famous artist should paint your portrait? Take this quiz to find out.

Have you ever dreamed of a famous artist painting your portrait? I definitely have. I think it would be so cool to have an abstract or highly stylized painting of myself. Of course, in a few years, we’ll probably all have artificial intelligence available to make all sorts of funky portraits of us. Still, I prefer to do some old school day dreaming.

If I had to choose, I would definitely want a Picasso of myself. (Yes, I know he’s long dead, just dreaming here.) Or maybe a Warhol. Or even a Dali. Heck I’ll take all three! To be honest, I’d love a painting of myself by any famous artist (who wouldn’t???). But I do find something wacky or colorful to be the most compelling 🙂

I found the idea of a world famous artist painting my portrait so compelling that I decided to write a quiz about it. If you’ve been using Blogthings a while, you’ve already probably taken What Artist Should Paint Your Portrait?, but hear me out… this quiz is totally improved. I did even more research on the artist’s featured, an d now the quiz outcomes are three to four times as long.

So if you’ve ever wondered which artist should paint you, take What Artist Should Paint Your Portrait? You may be surprised to learn which artist bests would capture your personality. Are you more of a pop art or surrealist type? This quiz will tell you and possibly introduce you to your new favorite visual artist.

Give this quiz a go, and let me know what you think. Did you get an artist that you would actually like to paint your portrait? If not, what sort of portrait would you like?

Happy National Cookie Day! As someone who loves both eating and baking cookies, this day was made for me. It even just so happens that my current favorite holiday song is “Bakin’ Cookies” by the Ellas. If you haven’t heard it, check it out.

Whether you’re going to celebrate National Cookie Day by baking cookies, eating cookies, or simply dreaming about cookies, I invite you to also celebrate by taking some quizzes. And there’s one thing I can promise you about these cookie quizzes – they won’t burn if you get too distracted taking them. Enjoy!

What Girl Scout Cookie Are You? – We can’t talk about cookies without talking about girl scout cookies. My mouth just waters thinking about them. I always want to say what my favorite is, but I love them all. They are smart that they don’t make a variety box, instead forcing me to buy every kind! Are you like me and unsure which girl scout cookie suits you best? Take this quiz to find out!

The Sandwich Cookie Personality Test – Call them Oreo’s, Joe-Joe’s, Hydrox, whatever… I love those little sandwich cookies with the cream filling on the inside. And you may not know this, but there are quite a few personality theories about how you eat them. Take this quiz to learn what your sandwich cookie eating style says about you!

Is your holiday spirit starting to wane this year? I think we all struggle with keeping our holiday spirit high, and it’s especially tough when the holiday season is extra long like this year. (You have an early Thanksgiving to thank for that!)

I wanted to give some love to all the Grinches and Scrooges this time of year. I was feeling a bit Scrooge-ish myself the other day when I was thinking about all the Christmas presents I have to wrap. Even though there is so much to love about the holidays, we all have our pain points that turn us into Grinches at times. And that’s okay!

Have you ever wondered what other people think of your face? I think it’s something we all wonder about from time to time. It’s so hard to know how others perceive our looks. And I’m not just talking about how attractive we are to others. I’m also talking about how honest, approachable, intelligent, compassionate, and competent we all look… or don’t look.

We may never know the unfiltered truth about how our faces look to others. Luckily there are lots of studies on this subject though, so I’ve been able to write some quizzes about how faces are perceived. If you want to see how your face is read, then take the quizzes below. You may get a glimpse of how others see you and maybe even learn a secret part of yourself!

What Do People Think Of Your Face? – What does your overall face tell other people? This quiz takes an inventory of what your face looks like and then lets you know what people think about it. Don’t worry – there is nothing harsh about this quiz! You may be surprised by what you learn though.

What Does Your Mouth Say About You? – Some people believe that the eyes are the window to the soul, but I think a mouth is more expressive. Eyes can lie, but a mouth never can keep a secret. Do you know what your mouth is telling others? Take this quiz to find out.

What Does Your Nose Say About You? – Do you dislike your nose? Or are you one of the few people out there who loves your nose? I love noses of all kinds – I think they give people character. What does your nose reveal about your personality? Take this quiz to learn what your nose is saying.

Do You Have a Trustworthy Face? – Of course, we all would like to be perceived as gorgeous, captivating, smart, and interesting. However, I would just settle for a trustworthy face, and hear me out on this one. If you have a trustworthy face, it’s easier to get jobs, make friends, negotiate with others, and even fall in love. How do you know if you have a trustworthy face? Simple! Take this quiz to find out.

What Kind Of Smile Do You Have? – Without drastic cosmetic enhancements, there’s not a lot we can do to change our faces. Well, except for smiling! A smile can make any face look more inviting, but not all smiles are created equally. Give this quiz a go, and see what kind of smile you have.

What Does Your Face Shape Say About You? – While there’s a lot that you can change about your face, the shape of your face is fixed.

Brrr! Are you staying warm this season? We have had a colder than average fall, and I have heard winter is going to be even colder. I don’t love the cold, but I do love staying warm. I have been experimenting with new ways of staying warm this year, including drinking lots of tea and baking bread first thing in the morning to warm up the house.

This is definitely a lazier time of year, and I embrace it. It’s the perfect weather for cozying up with my laptop to write a few quizzes and blog posts. And it’s even better for cozying up with your phone, laptop, or tablet to take a few quizzes. Here’s a few quizzes I’ve written that I think are especially perfect for a cold day:

What Flavor Hot Chocolate Are You? – While tea is my favorite everyday drink for warming up, nothing beats a nice cup of hot chocolate. Warm up with this hot chocolate themed quiz, and learn which flavor hot chocolate suits you best!

What Greek Island Should You Visit? – I’m usually content to wait the winter out because the spring and summer are so warm here in Texas.

I’d love the food, the wine, the sunshine, and the amazing views! Do you agree? Take this quiz for a virtual cold weather escape.

What Sort of Artist Should You Be? – For me, the changing of the seasons can mean a changing of hobbies. I spend less time on gardening and long walks, and I spend more time on yoga indoors and artistic pursuits.

If so, take this quiz to see what sort of artist you should be.

What Constellation Are You? – I don’t make it a habit, but every so often I love to bundle up on a quiet winter night and look at the stars.

If you fancy some winter stargazing as well, then take this quiz to learn which constellation you are most like.
